After the Paranoid Female Lead Lost Her Memory, She Insisted on Pursuing This Cannon Fodder - Chapter 46

Beep—

The video call ended.

“Hmph, everything is going according to plan.”

Shen Yuan spun around excitedly, accidentally bumping into the bedside table. She felt no pain, already lost in her fantasy of Lin Zhaoyue’s romantic seaside date.

The mess her past self had made—now it was up to her to fix it. Though troublesome, achieving her goal was all that mattered.

As expected, playing the proactive type makes it so much easier to get close to Lin Zhaoyue, Shen Yuan thought, smirking.

She went to the mirror, frowning at her plain, unremarkable clothes.

For my first date with Zhaoyue, I should dress up more.

Shen Yuan pulled out her phone.

Her past self had assumed that the current Shen Yuan couldn’t access memories from her other state, leaving her completely unguarded.

This made things incredibly convenient for the present Shen Yuan.

She recalled seeing her past self checking her bank balance and discovered a hidden bank card—a special savings account specifically for paying off her gambling-addicted father’s debts.

Shen Yuan scoffed.

Ridiculous! I’d rather throw this money into the sea than feed it to that dog.

She decided to seamlessly convert the funds into her “wife fund.”

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock sounded at the door.

Shen Yuan quickly composed herself, forcing a smile, and hurried to open it. Standing there was Zhang Wei, who had just emerged from the opposite room, ready to head to work.

Seeing Shen Yuan’s radiant, lottery-winner-like expression, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

“I heard your scream from miles away. What’s going on?”

“Weiwei, I just called Zhaoyue!”

“You still called her…” Zhang Wei groaned, clutching her head. She had tried so hard to dissuade Shen Yuan, but the moment she let her guard down, Shen Yuan had rushed headfirst into disaster.

“Exactly! I managed to get Zhaoyue to agree to come here!”

“I knew it… Wait, what?!”

Zhang Wei nearly dropped her bag. She rubbed her ears, convinced she must have misheard.

“Y-you got her to agree? Lin Zhaoyue? She’s actually coming here to see you?”

This… this defies all logic!

Given Lin Zhaoyue’s Young Miss temperament, how could she possibly agree to travel such a long distance for a date?

…Could she really be taking the doctor’s instructions that seriously, immersing herself in the role to this extent?

Shen Yuan tossed her hair.

“Of course it’s true! I knew Zhaoyue still couldn’t let go of me!”

Zhang Wei stared at Shen Yuan’s unwavering conviction that their love was mutual, momentarily speechless.

She strongly suspected that Lin Zhaoyue had been scolded by her parents for yesterday’s incident and had come specifically to retaliate against Shen Yuan.

“But… wait,” Zhang Wei struggled to regain her composure. “Would Lin Zhaoyue really travel this far just for a date with you? She doesn’t seem like the type to do something like that.”

This was putting it mildly, just short of saying, “Wake up! She doesn’t love you. She might just be playing you.”

To her surprise, Shen Yuan didn’t waver in the slightest. Instead, her delicate eyebrows arched in displeasure as she retorted, “How could that be? If not for me, then for you?”

“Uh…”

Zhang Wei was completely taken aback by this sudden counterattack, unable to find a rebuttal.

Fine, let her enjoy her moment of happiness for now.

“Alright, alright, you’re right. He’s definitely here for you,” Zhang Wei said, nodding dismissively. She glanced at her watch and quickly changed the subject.

“Oh dear, it’s getting late. I need to head to the office—I’ll probably be busy until evening. You… take it easy, okay? When you see Lin Zhaoyue, don’t get too excited, and… um, don’t be too… you know.”

Zhang Wei struggled to find the right words to describe Shen Yuan’s lovesick state.

In a flash of inspiration, Zhang Wei leaned close to Shen Yuan’s ear and whispered conspiratorially, “After all, you’re… you know, right? So you should… right? You wouldn’t want… no problems, right?”

Shen Yuan’s eyes widened in sudden realization. “…So that’s how it is! I understand now!”

“Thank you, Weiwei. I’ll remember everything. You go ahead and get to work.”

An hour later, Lin Zhaoyue changed her clothes, circled the airport in the plane, and pretended she had just arrived in the city.

She had already sent Shen Yuan the coordinates of the helipad. Shen Yuan would… no, definitely come to pick her up.

The private jet landed smoothly on the exclusive helipad.

The boarding ramp slowly lowered.

Lin Zhaoyue put on her sunglasses, straightened her skirt, and made sure her hidden preparations wouldn’t be discovered.

Then she adjusted her expression—cold, haughty, radiating an aura that screamed, “This Young Lady is deigning to grace you with her presence.”

With regal poise, she descended the ramp.

Under the blinding sunlight, the helipad was vast and silent, save for a few small planes parked in the distance and the figures of ground crew.

And—

In the very center of the helipad, stood Shen Yuan. Slender yet strikingly conspicuous, she clutched a bouquet of roses as large as a small tree, with a giant pink cardboard cutout of Hello Kitty standing beside her.

Lin Zhaoyue: “……”

Shen Yuan had clearly spotted Lin Zhaoyue the moment she stepped off the plane.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and an overwhelmingly radiant and enthusiastic smile bloomed on her face. Like a large dog spotting its owner, she charged toward Lin Zhaoyue with unrestrained excitement!

As she charged forward, she waved her other arm excitedly, shouting at the top of her lungs:

“Zhaoyue! I’m here—!!”

Lin Zhaoyue stood frozen, staring at the pink KT board that read “Warmly Welcome My Dearest Fiancée, Lin Zhaoyue!!! ♥♥♥” and was covered in hearts. Her temples throbbed violently.

Is it too late to turn around and get back on the plane?

The answer was clearly no.

Shen Yuan had already rushed to her side like a whirlwind.

“Zhaoyue! You really came! I’ve missed you so much!”

Lin Zhaoyue felt like her toes were about to dig a three-bedroom apartment into her shoes. She instinctively raised a hand to adjust her sunglasses, clinging to her last shred of dignity.

Just as she was about to be overwhelmed by this excessively enthusiastic welcome, she quickly shot a desperate look at Aunt Wang, who was waiting nearby.

Aunt Wang understood instantly. Before the bouquet could be shoved into Lin Zhaoyue’s face, she swiftly stepped forward, firmly blocking Shen Yuan’s path. With practiced ease, she took the flowers and the cringe-worthy KT board.

“Oh my, Miss Shen, you’re too kind! Such a grand bouquet and this… this board—you’ve really put your heart into it.”

Aunt Wang spoke while subtly flipping the board over to hide the embarrassing words. She clicked her tongue twice, glancing meaningfully at Lin Zhaoyue.

“Our Young Miss has many admirers, but this is the first time she’s ever accepted a gift from anyone.”

“Aunt Wang!”

Two crimson blushes flared on Lin Zhaoyue’s cheeks as she scolded her, both embarrassed and annoyed.

Stop saying things that sound like “You’re the first person the Young Miss has ever cared about this much!”

Aunt Wang responded with a cheerful “Aiya,” clutching the bouquet and board as she deftly retreated to the side, concealing her role in the drama.

With the distracting flowers and board out of the way, Lin Zhaoyue finally had a clear view of Shen Yuan, who had rushed up to her.

Then, she paused, slightly stunned.
